Thinking about bariatric surgery? Come and meet us in person this November 🇳🇿💙
Mexico Bariatric Center is returning to New Zealand this November for a series of FREE in-person bariatric seminars.
If you’ve been researching weight-loss surgery but still have questions about the procedures, safety, travelling to Mexico, costs, recovery or aftercare, this is your opportunity to sit down with our team, hear the facts and ask your questions face-to-face.
There is no pressure to book. Come along, listen, learn and decide whether this may be the right path for you.
What we’ll cover
✅ Gastric sleeve, gastric bypass and other bariatric procedures
✅ How the medical team decides which surgery may be most suitable for you
✅ What surgery and hospital care in Tijuana is really like
✅ What is included in our surgery and group packages
✅ Travelling from New Zealand – independently or with one of our accompanied groups
✅ Pre-op preparation and recovery
✅ Nutrition and ongoing aftercare
✅ Real patient experiences
✅ Live Q&A with the MBC team
You’ll also have the chance to meet one of our bariatric surgeons in person:
💙 Auckland & Hawke’s Bay – Dr Jacqueline Osuna
💙 Wellington & Christchurch – Dr Alejandro Gutierrez, Chief Bariatric Surgeon
Wellington - Lower Hutt Events Centre
30c Laings Road, Hutt Central, Lower Hutt 5010
MBC founder Ron Elli will also be joining us, along with me, Vanessa Taylor – NZ Patient Coordinator and former MBC gastric bypass patient.
I had my own surgery with MBC, so I’m very happy to answer the practical questions too – what the journey is like, the hospital experience, travelling home after surgery and what life looks like afterwards.
